The Brunswick Town Council has approved new zoning rules that are meant to give residents and officials more oversight of development around Brunswick Landing, as new commercial and industrial projects have been proposed in an area that’s also seen lots of housing construction. Hundreds of new housing units have been constructed on Brunswick Landing since 2017. At the same time, there are a few larger scale projects happening in the area, which used to be Naval Air Station Brunswick. The projects include an expansion of STARC Systems, a local company that manufactures temporary walls, and the proposed conversion of an existing biodigester that aims to convert organic waste into natural gas — including taking in some materials that could be contaminated with PFAS chemicals.
